Is there a rule of thumb about eating before anal sex so as not to disrupt anal activity with bowel movement? Should you time meals in a particular way? Should you fast before anal sex, and, if so, for how long?

–Anal Novice

Everyone’s digestive system is different, so there is no universal rule of thumb when it comes to how your gastrointestinal system works. You know your ass, your bathroom schedule, and your regularity better than anyone else. However, as a general guideline, you should have a bowel movement before anal penetration in order to empty your bowels and ‘clear the runway’ for anal play. Eating a big meal before a hot anal sex date is probably not the best idea since it’s likely to stimulate digestion. In addition, if you have a particularly sensitive system, then avoid foods that are spicy or especially hard for your body to digest. I don’t recommend that people fast before anal sex, since fasting can cause a drop in blood sugar levels, and it’s never ideal to have sex while lightheaded and hungry. Fasting can also disrupt your body’s natural processes, throwing everything out of whack.
